Hi Boomer, I’m having a problem with math, and now I got a C. I keep thinking that I’m going to pick up my grades in math, but I just can’t. I’ve given up hope.
Please help, M.V.
Dear M.V. You’re a good and conscientious student. For some kids who struggle with a subject, a C can be a big accomplishment! Find a time to talk to your teacher for some ideas and even some extra problems to practice. Math isn’t easy for me, either. But I know that if I don’t give up, I eventually get it! You’re far from hopeless – you’re just math challenged.
Best of luck, Boomer Bear
Dear Boomer, I really want to be in the Young Reporters Program and be a TV anchor and so do my friends. I am scared that they won’t get in. Do you take everyone who signs up? I hope so, then we could do it together.
Love, P.Z.
Hey, P.Z., As long as you’re in grades 2 through 8 right now, you can be a Young Reporter and even give the news from the anchor desk at KVOA-4. The program is free and sharpens your writing and communications skills. You can even sit down with a friend or two and pound out a Pulitzer Prize-winning story for Bear Essential News! To print out the sign-up forms, go to www.BearEssentialNews.com and click on “Young Reporters.” Follow the buttons to the forms.
